Election

COWBOY BABY: Kid Rock +4 in Early Polling in Senate Race.

Republican: Robert Ritchie aka Kid Rock: 30%

Democrat: Debbie Stabenow: 26%

Undecided: 44%

Obviously, polling this early in the race doesn’t mean too much (or at all in the case of the 2016 Presidential Election polling). However, it is very interesting to see that a political newcomer, Kid Rock, already leading his challenger. More interestingly, when the undecided respondents were asked to choose between Ritchie and Stabenow, Kid Rock led 54%-46%. He seems to be riding the wave of President Trump very well, and has been an avid supporter of the 45th President.

While he initially endorsed fellow Michigander Dr. Ben Carson for president, Kid Rock quickly became an enthusiastic Donald Trump supporter, reprising his 2012 role by playing at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland after Trump accepted the GOP’s nomination for president.

Democrats, meanwhile, are doing anything but treating Ritchie’s run as a joke. “Well, maybe this is all a joke — but we all thought Donald Trump was joking when he rode down the escalator at Trump Tower and announced his campaign, too,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told supporters in a fundraising email.

Whether you like Kid Rock as a person or musician, it’s always wonderful to see the Democrats freaking out over someone kicking their establishment. I personally think Ritchie has a good opportunity to win. He has great name recognition (with Kid Rock) and is riding the Trump Train on it’s mission to Make America Great Again.
